| Article Title :: Reverse Dictionary - Ever asked yourself "Whats the word for..." |
| |
| I just happened to stumble on a pretty interesting tool today.
I was trying to find a word for “People that are behind the times” for my previous blog post. I did a couple of searches in Google without avail and eventually started scouring for a tool that did a reverse lookup on a word.

Reverse Dictionaries allow you to “Describe a concept” in order to find words that match that description.
Cool Stuff, especially for all of us non-harvard graduates.

| Article Title :: Translation: Cooperate With Translators -- It Pays |
| |
| When a business goes global, there is a risk of being not properly understood in other languages, or, even worse, misunderstood. That is why, when you are going to expand your business, your success can depend on the person who translates your website, documentation, ads and so on.
Don't insist on translating your text word-by-word or sentence-by-sentence. Contrary to the popular belief, the translation won't be more accurate this way. Just the opposite is true: a translator who translates word-by-word is a BAD translator, or a mediocre one -- at the most.
A MEDIOCRE translator will diligently substitute words, word-combinations and idioms of one language for those (read full article) |

Kids Can Learn Spanish! Spanish for Children
I just got a call from my two year old granddaughter. She wanted to sing "Los Pollitos" to me. You can find this children's classic in most of the collections of songs that we are recommending.

Los pollitos dicen pÃo, pÃo, pÃo
cuando tienen hambre,
y cuando tienen frÃo.
